ipod touch 4g battery only lasts 1-2 hour

My ipod touch battery only lasts 1-2 hours, and even when the brightness is at the lowest, +/- 2 hours. This page says the battery life is 7 hours when listening to music and 4 hours when watching videos. Is this my fault or is my battery not doing good? I'm not listening to music or playing videos, i'm just browsing on the web, browsing in the app store and playing games (sound turned off). What can i do about this? Should I contact Apple? Thanks, nelson2tm.

Then

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Seems like the battery is wearin gout

If only the battery
